Sanctum #3

Protecting Priscilla

Rate this book
Who can she trust? Raised in seclusion by her uncle, Priscilla finds refuge in her e-reader and an online bookstore. After finding THOSE books, she knows that she’s a Little. Left to die in a secluded area by her greedy cousin, her path leads to a mysterious gate labeled SANCTUM. There, she finds food, water, and so much more. A chance for life and love if only her past doesn’t come back to ruin everything. Join SANCTUM with Priscilla. Here Littles can be Little and Daddies can take care of their Little ones completely. Pepper's books feature a power exchange in the form of age play (adults who choose to live as a Little or a parent of a Little) and possibly dubious consent. If you are offended by this dynamic, this is not the book for you.

Priscilla has had a very harsh childhood, after her parents died her uncle took her in. He was a terrible man, he didn’t let her out of the house, only gave her enough food to not starve and hired a tutor so she didn’t have to go to school. Once he died, his son finds out half of the inheritance goes to Priscilla. He tries to kill her, but she survives being thrown from a car. She is hiding in the woods behind SANCTUM and is setting off the alarm. Mitch goes to investigate and finds her. After some coaxing he gets her to come home with him, she has been in the woods for days and is hungry and very dirty and tired.
Mitch is great with her, he puts her at ease and takes very good care of her. He gets the police involved and helps her heal. The cousin has been looking for her and kidnaps her and the police and Mitch get her back. They hold a big celebration for her becoming his Little where Mitch asks her to marry him.

Protecting Priscilla is the third book in Pepper North’s Sanctum series. In this book readers meet Priscilla and Mitch. Priscilla lived most of her life in isolation. Once her uncle dies, her greedy cousin, Mark, drugs her, beats her, and abandons her in the woods. Miraculously, she survives. Her search for food and shelter finds her sneaking into Sanctum where Mitch, a former Army ranger finds her. He is attracted to her and claims her as his. What happens when her cousin discovers she is alive? Can Mitch keep her safe? You must read this book to learn what happens.

Like the other books in this series, Ms. North creates a perfect blend of drama and humor. This age-play romance contains several steamy bedroom scenes. I like the way Ms. North’s female lead characters are wounded with emotional scars, embrace fake bravado attitudes to barely navigate their daily existence, and evoke the protective and possessive streaks in their strong, dynamic, and alpha male lead characters. use of dialog was well done. The banter between Priscilla and Mitch was amusing. Her descriptive scenes drew me into their story as if I was a first-hand witness. This is a delightful read. Way to go, Ms. North.

Mitch found his little

Mitch found a leak in his surveillance system. He goes out to his fenc to find something dug a hole. He decided it was done by a human. He noticed that someone was in the woods.
Is a young woman battered, dirty, and malnourished.
Priscilla was thrown out of her cousins moving car. He left her for dead. He didn't want to share his dead father's inheritance with her.
He promised that he would take her home and take care of her.
Mitch knew that he had found his little. He gives her food and a bath to get off the dirt and soak her sore body. He could tell she had a few broken ribs. Once he had her clean, he wrapped up her ribs.
They enjoy their time together. They never thought her cousin was going to find her here in Sanctum. But he spots her in town with Mitch. He is determined to grab her and kill her. He doesn't realize how much Mitch loves Priscilla and will do anything to save her.
Great story of what a Daddy will do for his little.
Another great story by Pepper North

Pricilla was raised in seclusion by her uncle and so found refuge in her e-reader and after finding certain books she knows she is a LIttle. She was beaten and left to die in a secluded area by a greedy cousin and when she is conscious finds her way to the gate to the SANCTUM community. There she finds water, food and medical aid, plus a chance at staying with a Daddy so she can live as a Little. If only she can learn to trust again.

I enjoyed this book with the heartbreaking story of Pricilla, her bad treatment, her good luck in finding someone to fight for her, plus an end to her nightmares. Her new Daddy Mitch was a tower of strength as he did everything that he could within the law to keep her safe. Lots of danger and drama in this book but at the end a HEA with a happy Daddy and his Little.

This book is not something I would normally read, having said that I really enjoyed it. I mean in my house I am just a princess, but I could see the allure in being a Little, not all of it, but definitely some of it for sure. I mean she got to color, he makes her food and pampers her, seriously can see the allure. She was just so sweet and really needed someone to love and take care of her, you just wanted to protect her, since nobody ever did. She needed him just as much as he needed her. He finds her, and saves her, literally. She already knows she is a Little, and that he is a Daddy.

Safe read with a Daddy and his precious Little. Good storyline, with a little suspense. I would have liked an epilogue, but it was a sweet hfn.

I think i have a mini-crush.

A mini-crush on every single one of the Daddies in Pepper North 's stories!
She is able to develop her characters personality and blend them together.

In Protecting Priscilla she has allowed Priscilla to find herself after unusual
childhood.
Mitch is able to protect and love in a way that only he can.

I have made it my obsession to own each of Pepper's book even if only in
digital form.
I reread them when nothing will do.

I am going to have a hard time waiting for Samantha's story after the teasing
that Pepper peppered though out Priscilla's story.

One of my favorit ap books from now on

This book has everything I love in it. I love Mitch and his gentle maners towards his Little. You can feel the love he has for her in the pages and the sweet Little Priscilla.. having a childhood for the first time at 24. Strong, trusting, kind are some words I would describe her as. You know how a dog who has been mistreated over a long time still wants to have someone love them and keep opening their hearts over and over - that is Pricilla. You just wabt to cuddle her and promise that everything will be okey, and thankfully Mitch is there to do just that♡

Priscilla was left to be raised by an Uncle, after her Parents died. But it wasn't a great childhood. She didn't have any love or attention at all. She wasn't allowed to play outside or have friends. Luckily she had a Nanny who would from time to time, bring in treats and books. When her Uncle died everything changed! Her Cousin wanted it all. so he arraigned to get rid of her. That's when her life changed! Mitch saw something outside the gate of Sanctum, and went to investigate. What he found shocked him bruised, and battered and emaciated Priscilla. These two were sweet together, Mitch did what he had to do to help her heal, Once Priscilla started to trust, she was all in!

Another awesome, amazing, fabulous Sanctum novel

This story was perfect. I loved Priscilla and Mitch is a perfect Daddy! Even though this one is a little scarier than the first two, it is still wonderful and still has the happy ending we all love. And event luckier for us, the next one comes out in February! This series is on my personal must read list! If you love age play, you cannot miss these stories!!!!!

A new life

Priscilla had a pretty lonely life after her parents were killed in an accident. No socialization, no friends. Her cousin tried to kill her to get all the inheritance. She ended up being found by Mitch. He owned Sanctum, a place for those who lived the daddy and littles lifestyle. He helped her and feelings developed between them. There is one more obstacle to overcome. Very nice story.

Priscilla has basically been a prisoner in her uncles home since the death of her parents. Her uncle has passed away and her cousin no longer wants her around. Priscilla went out to eat with her cousin and she wakes up abandoned in the woods with no idea how she got there. Priscila meets a man she hopes she can trust, she really needs help. Will this man help her and become her Daddy as well as keep her safe from her cousin? I loved this book.

Protecting Daddy

Cannot help but fall in love with a daddy who loves to protect his little girl, even when she isn't officially his little girl yet. Reading this book you find yourself a little heartbroken with what a member of her family does just for money. Terrible.

Loved the story, sometimes I lived in a place like Sanctum.

Sheltered to Loved

Priscilla had a very unloved childhood.
Mitch has been looking for his own little for a long time.
After Priscillas cousin Mark abducted her and dumped her miles from Sanctum, Mitch found her and cared for her while she healed.
Mark knew what he had in Priscilla and Priscilla found what she was looking for too.
Enjoyed this book very much and now off to the next one.

Another great read!

I loved this story. Priscilla knows deep down that she is different. She has led a very sheltered life, with her uncle. Her cousin is a nasty piece of work. Mitch comes to her aid and their puzzle pieces just snap into place. This story kept me hooked from start to finish.

Priscilla

I’m addicted to this series! This story is about a neglect s child is who grows up with an uncle, and the misfortune that befalls her when he dies, until she is discovered around SANCTUM by one of the single daddies. There is a bit of danger, plus a sweet romance and HEA!

Great read

I had so much fun with this book. A young woman is thrown and left for dead by her hateful and greedy cousin. As she wanders and searches for some place to be safe, she meets up with a daddy Dom. He not only saves her, but also finds he is her daddy. Very sweet and a lovely story.

A Sweet New Life

Whoa! Poor Priscilla!! Living with terrible family members who kept her cloistered inside left her so innocent. But when her evil cousin tries to kill her, she finds herself rescued by handsome older man, Mitch. They each recognize the connection with each other, the Daddy and Little they are. The sweetness is pure love!

Protecting Priscilla

Such a good story. It reads like a fairy tale, sort of. Priscilla has had so much happen to her, then her rotten jealous cousin tries to get rid of her!
Next thing that happens is Daddy Mitch. I like the concept of Sanctum. I like the way Pepper North writes.
Read the book! If you have KU it won't even cost you anything!

Cute And Scary

It is a very scary thing to be kidnapped and threatened bodily harm. I was. So I can relate. I got away, but this Little girl had to be rescued. And kicked where she already hurt! I could care less about all the sexy stuff. It was hot but I really liked the story. The characters and the location were good.

This is a great story. I liked Priscilla and Mitch. They are a sweet couple. Sanctum is really shaping up and developing. Her family was terrible but the daddies of Sanctum will make sure she is safe and happy. Looking forward to the next story.

Great book

Another great job on sharing about age play. It shows how they love and take care of those that they love. Even though most don’t know that this even exists. Can’t wait to read the next book.

I'm loving this series. The way Mitch protects Priscilla and still wants her to experience everything she missed in her childhood makes this a great story. I enjoy the interaction with all the other Littles and Daddies so you still get to see how their relationships are progressing.

Such a sweet read!

Another great story from Pepper!

Priscilla was just so darn precious and truly deserved all the happiness in the world, and also a giant protector. Luckily she found all of that and more behind the gates of Sanctum.

Lovely

Priscilla was such a sweetheart and so sheltered by her uncle. Her cousin was a total psycho, only interested in money. So glad Mitch found her and took care of her. The book was great loved it and all the main characters.

Really good story

I picked up this book not sure if I would enjoy it. It’s a genre that doesn’t really appeal to me but thought I’d give it a try. it is well written and the storyline is interesting. You will enjoy this if you are interested in age play.
